Hot Lanes

Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or lanes:

    “Good-night to the Season!—the dances,
    The fillings of hot little rooms,
    The glancings of rapturous glances,
    The fancyings of fancy costumes;
    The pleasures which Fashion makes duties,
    The praisings of fiddles and flutes,
    The luxury of looking at beauties,
    The tedium of talking to mutes;”
    —Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)

    “freeways fifty lanes wide
    on a concrete continent
    spaced with bland billboards
    illustrating imbecile illusions of happiness”
    —Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
